Electronic Properties of ZnO Nanoparticles Synthesized by Sol-gel Method: A LDA+U Calculation and Experimental Study

Surface related and intrinsic exciton recombination dynamics in ZnO nanoparticles synthesized by a sol-gel method

Electronic and Optical Properties of Size-Controlled ZnO Nanoparticles Synthesized by a Facile Chemical Approach

Facile low-temperature chemical route for the synthesis of ZnO nanoparticles is reported in this paper. Morphologically uniform and spherical shape with an average particle size of 8.8 nm and wurtzite phase with the crystalline structure of as-synthesized ZnO nanoparticles were confirmed by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Transmissi...

Thermoluminescece properties of BeO:Mg nanoparticles produced by sol-gel method

Beryllium  oxide  (BeO)  nanopowder  was  synthesized  using  sol-gel method  and  the  effects  of  changes of  chemical  reagents  were investigated.  Because  of  tissue  equivalence  and  other  outstanding thermoluminescence  (TL) properties of  the bulk material  in X and γ dosimetry, the applicability of this nanostructure in TL dosimetry was studied  following  irradiation to  the 137 C...

Cytotoxicity effects of synthesized ZnO and Zn0.97X0.03O (X=Li, Na, and K) nanoparticles by the gelatin-based sol-gel method

Objective: In this study we would like to report the synthesis of pure and group I element doping of ZnO nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs) prepared using gelatin. The use of natural polymers for the preparation of the pure and doped nanoparticles can result in achieving low cost and eco-friendly advantages.Materials and Method: Pure and doped ZnO-NPs were obtained at 500 °C and The cytotoxicity of nanopa...

Characterization of Structural, Optical and Hydrophilicity properties of TiO2 Nano-Powder Synthesized by Sol-Gel Method

In this paper, titanium dioxide nano-particles were synthesized by sol-gel method in acidic atmosphere. The microstructure, morphology, optical band gap, and hydrophilicity of the sample were studied. Optical band gap of titanium dioxide was probed via Diffuse Reflectance Spectra (DRS) and contact angle (CA) was measured to investigate surface activity. XRD analysis was used to study crys...
